Chapter 486 Ren Wenxuan's Request_2
Dressed in regal makeup, Fang Nianhan blinked gently, all her wealth tied up in her own company, a total asset of merely five or six million. Yet now she was discussing a super skyscraper valued at thirty or forty billion, inevitably stirring a peculiar feeling in her heart.
Taking a deep breath and thinking hard, Fang Nianhan, who had been rated as one of the four great beauties of Capital City, replied softly:
"Guang'an Building is located in the city center; first of all, its geographical location is absolutely prime, and the flow of visitors to that area has always been among the top three in Capital City. Many multinational companies have set up branches in Guang'an Building. At present, the entire Guang'an Building is fully leased out, and the rent is not cheap.
If Chu Mo could take Guang'an Building into his possession, it would be like having a money tree in hand.
If I remember correctly, last year I saw the report on Guang'an Building; the combined market value of the two Twin Towers Building is three hundred seventy-five billion. Han just quoted three hundred ninety billion, which is still within a reasonable range. If Chu Mo were to have a good talk with President Han, you might be able to secure it for around three hundred eighty-five billion."
The beautiful woman spoke incessantly, and upon hearing her, Chu Mo nodded gently, and after a moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he smiled and said:
"If I acquire this building in the future, the rent for your security company will be waived from now on!"
Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise immediately appeared in Fang Nianhan's eyes. It was well known that their company's rent amounted to several hundred thousand a year. If they could save this expense, the company would find its operation much easier.
"Then I'll thank Chu Mo in advance."
Chu Mo waved his hand, genuinely interested in Guang'an Building; the Gemini Towers Building was a rarity throughout Hua Country. If he could secure Guang'an Building and successfully control the Fang family, then his layout in Capital City would surpass a hundred billion in scale.
By that time, Chu Mo would become the fourth major power in Capital City, aside from the Yang, Luo, and Liu families.
As Chu Mo was contemplating his future plans in Capital City, Fang Nianhan suddenly whispered cautiously at his side:
"Chu Mo, President Ren over there seems to be calling you."
Turning his gaze to the opposite side, indeed, Ren Wenxuan, Chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, was signaling him.
As a top tycoon worth hundreds of billions who also controlled the number one entertainment company in the industry, Ren Wenxuan's status was naturally exalted.
Surrounded by a dozen people at the center, Ren Wenxuan, known as the godfather of the entertainment circle, was now holding a wine glass, and from afar, he toasted to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo exhibited a smile on his face and likewise raised his glass in response, the two silently toasting each other from across the room. Meanwhile, Fang Nianhan, with flushed cheeks, whispered softly:
"Chu Mo, can we greet President Ren... He has always been my idol, and I've seen him at parties before, but I've never had a conversation with him due to my insufficient status."
Savoring the red wine in his glass after gesturing back, the elegantly smiling Ren Wenxuan returned to mingling with the people around him. Only then did Chu Mo turn his attention to Fang Nianhan beside him, and with a slight smile and nod, he said:
"Since that's the case, Nianhan, come with me to greet him."
Chu Mo's Shi Yuan Entertainment and Ren Wenxuan's Shangyuan Entertainment had a close relationship, with both companies having always cooperated. However, as Shi Yuan Entertainment rapidly expanded and developed, this relationship had been slowly changing. In the not-too-distant future, Shi Yuan and Shangyuan might compete for the title of the number one company in the entertainment circle.
This was unavoidable as long as Chu Mo aimed to grow stronger and bigger.
Chu Mo also wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Ren Wenxuan, and this occasion was a rare opportunity, so he took the initiative to approach.
Moments later, as Chu Mo leisurely approached Ren Wenxuan's circle, the dozen or so top tycoons promptly made way for him, and only then did Chu Mo notice that beside Ren Wenxuan stood a beautiful star whose attractiveness did not lose to Fang Nianhan's.
"President Ren, it's been a while since our last meeting at Chang'an Club in Capital City—half a year in the blink of an eye. You seem even more spirited than before."
Chu Mo and Ren Wenxuan lightly clinked glasses as two top tycoons conversed. The wealthy individuals around them, each worth tens of billions, naturally stood by politely.
"You outshine me in charm and gallantry, Chu Mo, with a beauty always by your side."
Ren Wenxuan and Chu Mo, indeed old acquaintances, did not engage in much formality with each other. After toasting each other, their interaction was amiable.
Chu Mo signaled Fang Nianhan beside him, and simultaneously began the introduction:
"This is Miss Fang Nianhan, the young lady of the Fang family from the Capital City."
Ren Wenxuan, who exuded a gentle aura, nodded and said with a wide grin:
"The acclaimed Miss Nianhan, one of Capital City's four great beauties, how could I not know her? The old Fang family truly has some strong genes, producing such a beautiful daughter."
Fang Nianhan, with eyes wide, immediately blushed and replied with a coy laugh:
"Uncle Ren, hello."
Ren Wenxuan merely nodded subtly. To him, the Fang family, with assets worth just twenty or thirty billion, was not much different than these lesser followers. Even if the head of the Fang family approached, Ren Wenxuan would not spare an additional glance, let alone converse with the likes of Fang Nianhan standing before him.
After a moment, Ren Wenxuan shifted his attention back to Chu Mo and slightly turned sideways, introducing the glamorous lady accompanying him:
"President Chu, there's no need for me to introduce Miss Situ Lichun, right? Miss Situ is the pride of Shangyuan Entertainment. At the 'World's Number One Goddess' competition you hosted recently, if Li Chun had participated, it's hard to say who would have claimed first place. Hahaha!"
A hint of pride gleamed in Ren Wenxuan's eyes, and at his side, the stunningly beautiful woman who had been just half a step behind took the opportunity to step forward and speak:
"President Chu, I've long admired your reputation."
Chu Mo raised his glass and gently clinked it against hers, responding with a smile:
"It should be I who has long admired Miss Situ's reputation. Miss Situ has continuously been ranked in the top ten of Hua Country's most popular actresses for ten years, and I have seen all of your works."
Situ Lichun was the premier actress of Shangyuan Entertainment. She began her career early and had debuted ten years prior. Now twenty-eight years old, Situ Lichun's beauty had slightly dimmed compared to her peak, but she was still a top-tier beauty, radiating a mature and charming grace that surpassed that of Fang Nianhan beside her.
If it were not for Ding Xiaoni's recent meteoric rise to fame, overshadowing all others for a time, Situ Lichun would likely lead the ranks among Hua Country's dozens of top-tier actresses. With a fandom of two hundred million, she possessed an unrivaled influence throughout all of Asia.
As a goddess of her era, Situ Lichun was at the zenith of her career. Barring any surprises, dominating the entertainment industry for another three to five years would be no issue.
However, with age taking its toll on her visuals, Situ Lichun was also seeking a transformation. Previously recognized for her youthful and attractive image, her work in recent years had begun to boldly explore a diverse array of roles.
In summary, Situ Lichun was an extremely professional actress with strong work ethics. As the leading lady of Shangyuan Entertainment, she held a crucial position in the entertainment industry.
Her presence at such an elite tycoon's banquet highlighted Ren Wenxuan's high regard for Situ Lichun.
After exchanging pleasantries with Situ Lichun, Ren Wenxuan suddenly said:
"President Chu, I've heard you have a good relationship with Amy Belle. Li Chun is preparing for a new film, and I plan to invite the renowned Hollywood director Terris to direct it, with Li Chun as the leading lady. However, for the supporting actress role, if we could have Amy's support, the film would easily break into the international market.
However, Amy has not responded to the contact letter sent by her agent... I wonder if President Chu might have a way."
This was the first time Ren Wenxuan had so earnestly requested Chu Mo to facilitate something. Previously, Chu Mo had asked for Ren Wenxuan's assistance numerous times, whether it was for Ding Xiaoni's soaring fame or the rapid development of Shi Yuan Entertainment, and Ren Wenxuan had been incredibly helpful.
Now, with Ren Wenxuan seeking his aid, chu Mo would appear rather ill-mannered if he refused.
However, Amy Belle was the world's number one goddess, with a fanbase of one billion worldwide, and her popularity had skyrocketed due to the recent Goddess competition. Getting Amy to take on a secondary role was a challenging prospect, even for Chu Mo.
Chu Mo fell into momentary silence, and right then, the atmosphere around them grew tense.
